External Application Editing of Versions

I understand that when you edit a version, in PhotoShop for example, that Aperture will make the changes that were applied in PS and save this to the version. The tutorial says that Aperture automatically saves this new version in the Aperture library. BUT, what happens if the originals are Referenced files? Will the new version be saved in the referenced folder along with the original?

you cannot imagine how much i wish that there would be a really good way to edit
keywords in Lightroom
I too have a lot of keywords in nested structures.
If i now enter a new keyword (or getting one via import) it's nearly unusable to bringt those new keywords into my existing strukture. Only way is Drag/Drop the keyword thru the whole list, wait on an entry to unfold it etc., then scroll back to where the new keywords are (now at a different place because some sub-groups are opened now) etc.
Once you have re-organized 20 new keywords in such a list of hundreds of keywords you know: You won't do this again.
Export/Re-Import keywords is no option as you have found out. You cannot rename existing keywords or re-structure them as sub-keywords without getting duplicates and even more work than before.
Keyword handling in LR still is very(!) limited and a bit "silly" for a Version 3 that is used by so many professionals (isn't it?).
I won't start talking about having a user-defined order for the keywords to put the most fitting keyword upfront following by other keywords... That's editing the metadata of a picture... no, i'm still talking about managing the keyword-tree itself. Nearly unusable/impossible with LR3, still.
Having a Dialog with two Keyword-Trees side-by-side to be able to drag/drop from one to the other would be a good starting point.

LR 2.1 - Auto-Stacking EDIT IN EXTERNAL APPLICATION

I REALLY thought Adobe would have sorted this bug out. In previous versions of LR when you right clicked to EDIT a file in your external application, it popped up a dialog box asking if you wanted to
- EDIT THE ORIGINAL
- EDIT A COPY WITH LIGHTROOM ADJUSTMENTS
etc etc
It also had an option to say "stack with original"
Now since LR2.1 RC that option is gone, it just does not pop up at all and of course Lightroom defaults to assuming I wish to stack my edits with my originals which I do not wish to do. So I have to continually go and unstack EDITS and then delete them, I save my edits elsewhere because that's the way I want it and the way I work and I wish I could be allowed to work the way I want to. I never experienced any such issues on 1.4 and I wish there was a way to convert my database back to 1.4.
Am I missing something with this option box not popping up ???

Problem with editing in external application

Hi,
I have tried to edit a web page using an external application
(TextEdit in Mac) and Contribute allows me to open it by going to
File>Actions>Edit Page Source in External Application; but
when closing the document in TextEdit and returning to Contribute,
it shows the HTML code, not the page as it should appear in a web
browser.
Could anyone give me some advice?
Thanks

Could you post the page-source or post the url to the
page?

Edit photos in external application: Pixelmator

I'd like to set Pixelmator as the application which opens when I want to edit photos in an external application. Presently the choice I have in the drop-down menu is only Photoshop. How can change this since there is no option to choose the external application?

This is because you previously chose Photoshop. So, go back there and select Photoshop again and the dialogue allowing you to choose will become available.
If that fails, trash the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder

Editing a Web page in External Application

I am using Macromedia Contribute 3 and trying to edit the HTML code on a page by using the "Edit Page Source in External Application" option under File>Actions. It has worked in the past but now the "Edit Page Source in External Application" is grayed out. Any solutions? I know that I am connected to the website. Thanks.

Hi There,
Greetings from Adobe.
To make that option is available, make sure the role to which you're assigned allows it. If you can't update this setting, ask the person who is assigned as website administrator.
You will find that option under Edit > Administer Websites > Edit Role Settings > Editing > Allow users to edit a web page source in an external application.

Lightroom adjustments applied to edits in external application

I discovered something else tonight that I sure didn't think happened. When I do an edit in external application and choose Edit a Copy (Lightroom adjustments will not be visible) the lightroom adjustments that were applied to the original are applied to the edited file. They show before you save your edit and they are applied after you save your file. This surely is not what anybody wants nor do I remember this happening (maybe I always edited an unadjusted file before tonight?). They don't show in history so you can't undo them except by zeroing all the changes.

Thanks for responding, Pierre. No, I get three choices to edit in an external editor. My files are jpgs. a) edit the original, b) edit a copy without lightroom adjustments, c) edit a copy with lightroom adjustments. In the case of b, I get a jpg in Photoshop and it does not show lightroom adjustments. In case c, I get a PSD in Photoshop and it already shows lightroom adjustments and does not readjust it when I save the file.
I am using b. Edit a copy without lightroom adjustments. But as soon as the copy is created it shows the +- meaning an adjustment is applied and after I save a change from Photoshop, this adjustment is applied on top of the edits made in Photoshop. I didn't notice this happening previously so I wonder if it's some setting I managed to set with random incorrect keystrokes or something?
Adjustments are not applied to every file. It's only when the original has an adjustment, it is applied to the copy, and then applied to the edited copy AFTER it is saved (but the adjustments do not appear in the history).

Run External application without Exiting main application

Hi,
I am trying to implement a function that executes the external program from within my java application. I am using windows xp. I had googled for this and found some code but so far I am able to run the application in a condition if my main application exits. Instead I want to run the application without exiting my main application. How can I do that:
Code I am using is:
========================
try{
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("external program");
System.exit(0);
catch (Exception err){
err.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
=========================
my problem is I cannot run the external program without the line "System.exit(0)". If I remove that line, the external program only starts after I exit my main java application. Is there a way to run the external application without leaving the main application?
By the way I am using the latest version of JDK 6 update 2 and Netbeans 5.5.1
Thanks

I tried and I tried and I couldn't make the same problem occur unless I specfically had a long task execute BEFORE calling the runtime command. See the code below:
I tried a bunch of things, including having a GUI run before the Runtime call, after the runtime call. Neither affected the movie from being played.
I tried with different versions of the runtime command, none of it made a problem.
I tried running the application with a long task that would keep the main thread busy for a while AFTER I launched mplayer - no problem.
The only thing that made the app work the way you describe was when I built the long task that keeps the main thread active for a while BEFORE I launched mplayer (which is the state of the code as I pasted it below).
So my guess is that you have a single threaded application and you add the call to mplayer at the very end of your program's execution - thus it doesn't get called until the last thing. My suggestions:
1) Move the call to the Start of your code, not the end
2) Move your other work to a new thread so that it can be kicked off without holding the main thread in check.

Of course, as soon as I ignored those hints, I was able to reproduce the error described above quite easily in all the different tests I made... But I guess the OP implemented those fixes, right? He did say he read the article...

Get HTML (Dynamic Converter) converted content from external application

As per requirement, External (Other java application) application suppose to get dynamic converted (HTML version) content from UCM.
I am trying to execute GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION service using RIDC and web service client call.
I dont see HTML content is coming as the result of GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION service.
Would you please guide me in getting HTML converted document from external application.
Please let me know, if you need additional details.
Thank you in advance
Edited by: 958795 on Sep 12, 2012 3:29 PM

Hi Srinath,
I have tried your response. Still i am getting hda data only, not HTML content.
GET_DYNAMIC_URL service with fileUrl attribute is returning HTML content from UCM GUI (browser) but not from RIDC.
Code i tried is:
DataBinder dataBinder = idcClient.createBinder();
          dataBinder.putLocal("IdcService", "GET_DYNAMIC_CONVERSION");
          //dataBinder.putLocal("dID","1832");
          dataBinder.putLocal("dDocName","ECMPS5_002024");
          dataBinder.putLocal("IsJava","0");
          dataBinder.putLocal("RevisionSelectionMethod","LatestReleased");
          dataBinder.putLocal("DCViewFormat","WebViewable");
          // execute the request
          ServiceResponse response = idcClient.sendRequest (userPasswordContext, dataBinder);
InputStream istream=response.getResponseStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(istream);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line = null;
while ( (line = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(line);

Error in registering a provider for External Application for Web Clipping

Getting Error: The provider URL specified may be wrong or the provider is not running. (WWC-43176)
when trying to register a provider for an external application for Web Clipping

Hi Vineet,
The admins applied a patch to my version of the OracleAS 10g Version 9.0.4. and now I able to register a provider with the same URL but different Provider Name. I added My Yahoo Web Clipping from the Portlet Staging Area. That works fine but when I click on the check mail link in the Web Clipping Studio it gives me the following error. I have tried several times and I get the same error....
An exception has occured : WCS-514 -- Get status code 403 to URL http://us.rd.yahoo.com/my/prop/mail/*http://mail.yahoo.com/ by method get
Please click "Cancel" or "Back" in the above panel (if present) to retry. Otherwise, please try to click "Back" (from the browser) to go back to the Oracle Portal page to restart.

Single Sign-On and External Applications Portlet

I would like to know how complicated would be to call an External Application with SSO (like Hotmail), outside the External Applications Portlet.
We have defined around 10 external applications with SSO,they worked fine.
but due to look&feel issues, we would like to put them in a content area , like items that when the user clicks, takes them to the external application and performs the single sign-on.
Any advice will be appreciated.
tks!!

Maria, I was experimenting with this last night, to answer your question, and I think a cool way of doing this would be the following:
Create a custom attribute called "App ID" - make this a NUMBER type. This is where the external application id will be stored.
Create a custom item type: "External Application"
You have two options for the base type: either "URL" or "<None>". If you pick URL, then you can have the item contain the URL for fapp_process_login, but this is not advisable because it will require the administrator to type in this long URL every time a new application is added.
If you select base type URL, you should use that URL to let the administrator provide a URL to the application's homepage, or a help page or something of that sort.
Edit the newly created item to set the Attribute and Procedure properties.
Add the "App ID" attribute - no default.
On the Procedure tab, add the following procedures (called as HTTP), each with the App ID passed as "p_app_id":
Login http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_admin.fapp_process_login
Edit http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_admin.edit_fappuser
That's it!
Add the new custom item type to a folder, and all the administrator needs to do is set the title, and App ID for the new item.
Excercise for the Reader
You will notice that clicking on the Edit link will take you to the login server when you are done editing the credentials. To avoid this, pass another parameter to the edit procedure - p_done_url, and set a value for that to point to the page that you want to go to after editing credentials.

Single Sign-on and external applications

Hi,
Someone might be able to point me in the right direction about this.
I have registered each of my applications as external applications within Oracle Portal in order to avail of single sign-on.
This is fine to a point, but registering applications in this way still requires the user to enter a username and password once in order to login to the application the first time they use it, even though they have already logged into the Portal. As long as the user doesn't log out of the application they can close their browser and when they come back to the application they are still logged in.
None of the applications I use are oracle partner applications.
My problem is that I want to avoid the user having to log in to the application the first time they use it.
Ideally they should login to Portal once and then any subsequent applications they access, they are automatically logged into them without having to enter a username and password.
Is there a way to do this or will I have to write a custom login for each application to circumnavigate this first time using the application login issue ?
Are there any docs that someone could point me at.
Many thanks,

Photos Being Changed in External Application: Dropbox?

I was having an issue where each time I would modify a photo, LR would change the Capture Date to the Modified Date. Upon a quick search, I believe the correct way to stop this from happening is for me to uncheck the auto write to XMP which I did. After correcting the myriad of inadvertent date changes, I selected all the photos I was working with and attempted to save the metadata only to get this warning/question: "One or more of these photos has been changed in an external application. Should Lightroom overwrite the settings on disk?" I searched this and I'm confused because I'm not editing the photos in an external application; the only external app that is even remotely touching these photos is Dropbox, which is where my LR catalog is stored. Does Dropbox have something to do with this message or am I missing something? To overwrite or not to overwrite is the question now, I guess, but I'd like to figure out why this question is being posed so I can fix it from the start.

If I didn't think my humor and irony would be misinterpreted as being rude, I might say "Why are you such a troublemaker, by asking this question? Don't you know from reading the forum, that there are multiple opinions about how LR works with changes done outside itself?" Ooops, I actually said it.<G>
But, seriously, I've had many of the same questions, so I've been following the various threads, and still haven't got a clear and relatively simple answer to "how to work with LR images and catalogs using outside applications, and not mess stuff up?"
So, again, seriously, thanks for asking. Hoping, like you, to get clearer understanding.
Regards,
Peter

Cache problem when coming back from external application

Let's see if I can explain this properly. We have an application consisting of a left menu with books and pages. Each page consists of one Struts portlet. In one case we direct the user to an external mail application. This is handled by the Struts action class setting some fields (identifier and a url to return to when closing the external application). Our action class forwards to a jsp page like this (where url, SESSION_KEY and LINKBACK_URL are populated by the action class)
<form action="${url}" name="myForm" METHOD="POST" TARGET="_top">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="i_session" VALUE="<c:out value='${SESSION_KEY}'/>">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="linkback" VALUE="<c:out value='${LINKBACK_URL}'/>">
</form>
<script language="javascript">
document.myForm.submit();
</script>
The external application opens up in the same window and when the user closes it you're linked back to our application through the LINKBACK_URL. Now, when I click in the left menu as I did from the start all I see is a blank page (if I click once again it displays correctly) and if I press F5 I'm logged into the external application again so it seems the jsp page with the form is cached. I can in a way understand that it does but I don't want that so are there any way to get rid of this behaviour?
